An appeal court in Abuja has sacked Ned Nwoko as the senator representing Delta-north.

Nwoko was pronounced senator after an Abuja high court sacked Peter Nwaoboshi , a serving senator, as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the October 2 primary election that held in Delta.

The 59-year-old politician had filed a suit challenging the election of Nwaoboshi who won the primary and went ahead to clinch the senatorial seat.

The high court held that Nwaoboshi was not the duly elected candidate of the PDP in the primary election and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the name of Nwoko as PDP candidate.

INEC subsequently withdrew the certificate of return given Nwaoboshi and gave same to Nwoko.

Unsatisfied, Nwaobishi appealed the judgment before a court of higher jurisdiction.

Ruling on the case on Thursday, the appellate court held that the initial case filed by Nwoko before the high court is statute barred as it exceeded 14 days from the time of the incidence that birthed the suit.

It added that the lower court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter in the first place.

“As at the time the matter was instituted at the Federal High Court, the case was statute barred. We set aside the decision of the Federal High Court and strike out the case,” the court ruled.

Following the development, Nwaobishi will return as senator for Delta-north.
Nwoko was in the news recently over his planned marriage to Regina Daniels, an 18-year-old Nollywood actress.

A popular Nigerian singer has recently been recognized by international publishing house Vogue Magazine, after getting featured in an article where she speaks about her latest music single.

“I want to make Sugar Mummy a positive term. She is a woman with swag, who looks good, who is proud to be different.” she said.

Speaking on her sense of style, the singing star divulged that she does not want to conform to the stereotype that women have to be feminine. She expressed that no one should get to choose how she lives her life.

Teni said: “There’s an assumption that women have to look a certain way to be feminine, but I don’t want to conform to that stereotype. My thing is this: You don’t get to decide how I choose to live my life. I’m being me, respect that.”

On how she has been able to use her influence to help, Teni recounted an incident with one of her Instagram followers who was on the verge of taking her life.

“This girl was on the verge of taking her life, so I immediately got her number and reached out to her. She explained that watching my funny Instagram videos had kept her going. It was in that moment that I realized how powerful my influence can be. If I can be a source of hope and joy to somebody, then I’m doing something right.” she said .
